Description
- The present invention relates to remote control locomotive systems and, more specifically, to a simulator for remote control locomotive systems.
- A remote control locomotive system is a control of a locomotive from a location other than the locomotive cab. Remote control is generally from a mobile controller or remote control transmitter (RCT), known by one manufacturer as “beltpack,” or from a console in the yard or tower. In response to industry pressure to issue guidelines, the Federal Railroad Administration published the Federal Register Safety Advisory 2000-1, Federal Register Vol. 66, No. 31, Feb. 14, 2001, presenting guidelines for remote control locomotive use. In addition to guidelines for operational safety and use of the device, training and certification of operators are also part of the guidelines.
- The present invention addresses these needs by providing a simulator that can be used to train and certify operators, known as locomotive engineers, as well as to provide a simulation capable of testing the equipment. The simulator includes a display and a first input device similar to a remote control locomotive controller to be operated by the operator to provide train signals. A computer drives the display to move a train relative to a track in response to the train signals. A remote control locomotive controller may be an actual remote control locomotive system or a virtual remote control locomotive controller where the input device is one or more of a keyboard, a mouse or a touch screen of the computer. The remote control locomotive controller may be portable or a floor console.
- The simulator may also include audio devices or a motion platform driven by the computer. A second input device may also be provided which senses one or more of position and orientation of the operator and provides view signals. The computer drives the display to change the perspective of the display in response to the view signals. The motion platform may also include a treadmill or large roller ball, allowing the operator to walk towards and away from the train or up and down the train. The audio and visual systems track and respond to the operator's position. A computer-generated images system may drive the display. The simulator can also simulate atmospheric conditions either by an atmospheric control system to physically subject the operator to atmospheric conditions and/or by modifying the drive signals for the display to simulate various atmospheric conditions.
- The computer may also record the operator's commands for later analysis with correlated drive signals. The computer may also include pre-selected alert conditions and annunciates such conditions when they occur.
- The instructor, in preparing for a training session, may develop a list of exceptions that will distinguish between a good, acceptable and poor operation of the remote control device.

- A simulator for a portable remote
control locomotive system 10 is illustrated in FIG. 1. It includes a computer or PC 12 having aPC monitor 14 and an input/output device (I/O) 16, including a mouse or a keyboard. It may also include a touch-sensitive screen. A remote control locomotive (RCL)controller 20 communicates with the computer, PC ormicroprocessor 12 by alink 22.Link 22 may be a hardwire connection or may be other connections, including radio waves, light waves or sound waves. - A typical example is illustrated in FIG. 2, wherein the
connection 22 is by radio waves and includes atransceiver 24 connecting theRCL controller 20 with thecomputer 12. An input device includes keyboard 16 a and a mouse 16 b. Thecomputer 12 would include appropriate software, which would drive the display from a first database in response to train signals from theRCL controller 20. The software would interpret the signals coming fromRCL controller 20 and provide drive signals to display 14 to move a train relative to the tracks. Different scenarios may be built in to the software in thecomputer 12 to test and measure the ability of the operator of theRCL controller 20. Results may be stored and analyzed later. They may be used in a certification or a further training program. - The instructor, in preparing for a training session, may develop list of exceptions that will distinguish between a good, acceptable and poor operation of the remote control locomotive system. The instructor may also develop a grading criteria based on performance in order to derive a measure of proficiency of the operator. All pre-selected exceptions can be announced to the instructor and/or operator in real-time during the simulation session or after the session by way of playback. The system will also provide facilities to create and manage a database of operator performance and provide tools to organize both playback type data and result type data for future reference.
- A
simplified simulator 10 on a portable PC is illustrated in FIG. 3. TheRCL controller 20 is shown on the screen as a virtual RCL. The touch screen or control input device is a mouse or keyboard and may be used to operate theRCL controller 20. While FIG. 2 shows a desktop version of the simulator, FIG. 3 shows a truly portable simulator. - A more sophisticated simulator is illustrated in FIGS. 4 through 6. Those numbers which have common functions in FIGS. 1 through 3 are used in FIGS. 4 through 6. The
computer 12 is connected to ascreen 14 and has anoperator interface 20. As illustrated in FIG. 5a, an enlarged screen display or an additional display 14 a may be provided. Thecomputer 12,screen 14 and the I/O device 16 is at a workstation, as illustrated in FIG. 5. This may also include anRCL controller 20 and would simulate a floor console RCL controller, as in a yard or tower. - The
motion sensor 30 is a second input device which senses one or more of the position and orientation of the operator. This is used by thecomputer 12 as view signals or instructions for an image-generating program and drives the display to change the perspective of the display in response to the view signals. This is used in combination with the signals from the operator interface device orRCL controller 20 to change the position of the locomotive on the tracks and the perspective at which the entire environment is viewed. - Besides the visual display, the outputs may also drive a
sound system 40 or amotion platform 42, upon which the operator stands, as illustrated in FIG. 5. Thesound system 40 will provide sounds which are normally encountered in the field. These may include machine or train sounds, environmental sounds and/or sounds of people. The system could incorporate virtual people visually and/or audibly interacting with the student or operator to create more realism. The operator's response to these sounds are recorded and can be used later for evaluation. The response may be in the operation of the RCL, change of physical position or verbal response. An instructor may also make verbal inputs or commands, and they would also be recorded. Voice recognition software may also be used. Thesound system 40 could be a surround sound system or headphones worn by the operator. - The
motion platform 42 may include anything from a full-motion platform to one which allows the operator to feel the shakes and tremors in the ground that are normally felt by the operator working in the switch yard or next to the train. Theplatform 42 may also change to the elevation of the operator relative to thedisplay 14 and/or the video system will calculate and re-display the perspective of visual environment for the operator using for example computer generated image (CGI)system 56. This would simulate the different positions from which the operator can use theRCL controller 20. Thus, they can operate it from the ground or from a position on the train. This will give operators a sense of height, as well as what is being shown on thedisplay 14. - The simulator may also include in the
computer 12 atmospheric conditions. These atmospheric conditions may provide a display drive signal to thedisplay 14, which would illustrate different atmospheric conditions. These may include, for example, rain, fog, snow, reduced visibility, etc. For more reality, as well as being used in equipment testing, the simulator may include the ability to createatmospheric conditions 44. These atmospheric systems may be similar to those used at a sound stage, which again could produce rain, fog and reduced visibility. Reduced visibility may also be provided as signals to goggles worn by the operator and controlled by radio signals. - Other components that may be provided include a LEADER System, which would provide input information of the forces, brake pressure, speed, acceleration, etc., within the train that are produced by the operator's operation of the train to the
computer 12 to provide it ondisplay 14. This information may be stored in anevent recorder 54 and made available for playback. - Another system is a
scenario builder 52. This is a software tool that allows the customer or trainer to build up training scenarios that the trainee or operator will encounter in the field. The event recorder andplayback system 54 not only records the information of the run including the selected conditions and the responses during the training session but can also provide the information back to thecomputer 12 to drive thedisplay 14 to repeat previous training sessions. - The
CGI system 56 of thesimulator 10 is a three dimensional world wherein, the “eye point” or reference point can wander all over to see nearly any viewing angle within the bounds of the CGI database. The RCL simulator records data files representing student commands to the simulator system augment to include the state of the CGI database for each instant in time. Since the database remains constant (static), the data recorded would be the dynamic and augmented information about the state of the simulator session such as position, other vehicles or people and their position, weather, etc. - This is a powerful tool for training and review of a session by the student. For example, suppose one of the rules for safe operation of an a RCL with a belt pack is that you must be able to clearly see where both the front and rear of the locomotive and car-set your moving is at all times. The instructor would position (in the CGI world) a locomotive in such a way as to cause an obstructed view during the planned movement. The student violates the rule and moves the train behind a stationed locomotive. The system will identify the movement as a violation and create an exception accordingly. The instructor may have designated the event as a portion of a proficiency test and will deduct points accordingly.
- As a review, the session can be played back and the “eye-point” can be changed to above the entire scene. Where the student would only have seen the train in his control move behind the stationed locomotive during the session, he will now see a locomotive engineer step off the blind side of the locomotive and be struck by the train under control of the student. This would offer a very powerful tool to demonstrate why rule compliance is so important.
- The
motion sensor 30 may be part of a virtual reality system, which is well-known in the game and other training industries. An example of implementation is illustrated in FIG. 6. Asensor 34 is provided on the operator to determine the direction that they are looking. This may be provided on the operator themselves or on theRCL controller 20, as illustrated in FIG. 6. - Alternatively, a
sensor system 32 may be provided to monitor the position of the operator on aplatform 36. Theplatform 36 may also be a series of pressure-sensitive elements used to determine the position and direction of the operator. As the operator moves on theplatform 36, any of the systems will provide position and orientation signals to thecomputer 12, which then can adjust thedisplay 14. To allow greater mobility of the operator and allow them to walk closer or further away from the train or along the train, a treadmill orlarge roller ball 38 may be provided. It is illustrated as a circular treadmill that will allow longitudinal motion, as well as angular positioning. - Besides training, the simulator may be used to test the
RCL controller 20. This may include ergonomic studies, fatigue and other operator-related conditions, as well as system software errors. - Although the present invention has been described and illustrated in detail, it is to be clearly understood that this is done by way of illustration and example only and is not to be taken by way of limitation. The spirit and scope of the present invention are to be limited only by the terms of the appended claims.
